        Between 2008 and 2010, photographer Pawel Jaszczuk walked through Tokyo's empty streets at night, capturing something that looked absurd but revealed a deeper truth about work, success, and pressure. https://x.com/interesting_aIl/status/2034993998801105267     The most commonly used national horoscope (mundane chart) for Japan among astrologers in mundane/political astrology is the chart for the post-World War II constitution coming into effect (May 3, 1947; 0:00; Tokyo; Japan). This marks the modern democratic Japan's "rebirth" after defeat and occupation, as the country transitioned to its current constitutional framework.   Shown above is the horoscope of Japan from Solar Fire for this data. The Capricorn Ascendant at 26°32' in Japan's chart strongly aligns with the archetype of a nation whose national identity and outward presentation emphasize discipline, structure, ambition, and a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to life.In ...

              By March 19, 2026, the pattern is unmistakable. What began as a war centered on Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and the waters around the Strait of Hormuz has now spilled decisively into the infrastructure heart of the Gulf monarchies. The most firmly established Iranian strike on Gulf energy infrastructure so far is the missile attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial complex, the largest LNG hub on earth, carried out after Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field. https://www.rt.com/news/635540-israel-iran-chain-reaction/   The national horoscope (mundane astrology chart) for Qatar is commonly based on its independence from British protection and the formal establishment of the State of Qatar.This occurred on September 1, 1971; Time: 8:00 PM Local Time; Doha, Qatar. The Ascendant of Qatar’s chart is [2 Aries] which is close to where the current Saturn-Neptune conjunction is taking place.   Extract from The Great 2025–26 Sa...

        Saudi Arabia’s natal chart (23 Sep 1932, 06:00 UT, Riyadh; tropical, Placidus) shows Sun (≈29° Virgo to 0° Libra range, depending on exact rectification). The progressed Sun is currently activating a sequence involving Lachesis (fate, cutting the thread of a process, "in the middle of a sequence"), Moon (public emotion, the people, national mood), Makemake (leadership as protector/provider vs. manipulative old-paradigm politics; sorting worthy vs. unworthy leaders; environmental/societal abundance conditions), Siwa (interruptions from rage/anger, destructive cycles recognized, "time out" or reassessment), and Pandora (surprises once underway, "more to it than anticipated," sudden turns, new doors from crises, Eureka moments that redirect the train).   Martha Wescott’s orb-of-10° approach treats this as a unfolding process rather than pinpoint events. The progressed Sun moving through these points (roughly 2024–2027 window per the report, with ...

  Attached table from Solar Fire gives Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s aspects to elements of Israel’s chart (progressed synastry). Martha Wescott advises not to focus on an exact date but to try and see the process unfolding using an orb of about 10 degrees.   The primary aspect is Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s conjunction to Israel’s natal Neptune. The other elements are asteroids are “Siwa-Pandora-Atropos-Diana”   Martha Wescott provides the following interpretations.   Pandora/Siwa Crisis situations that involve Asia or the Middle East (and people from those areas) will occur, but I think there will be concern about upsets that catch people off-guard in connection with those countries too. As well, I think that expressions of anger will sometimes be "unexpected" or bring consequences for which one was unprepared.   Neptune/Siwa  Part of the PURPOSE of recent and current events and circumstances is to upend concepts...

    Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, has reportedly been secretly advising Donald Trump to continue striking Iran hard, despite Riyadh’s public calls for restraint, according to The New York Times. Officials cited in the report say the Saudi leader has privately encouraged stronger military pressure on Iran, while the kingdom publicly promotes de-escalation and diplomacy.   https://x.com/TodaysNewsco/status/2033445146965012732     In the horoscope of Saudi Arabia [23 Sep 1932; 12:01 LMT; Riyadh] the natal Sun is at [0li06]. The Solar Eclipse of 21 Sep 2025 [29vi05] (opposite Saturn [28pi27] - Neptune [0ar48]) fell within a degree of Saudi Sun. The eclipse was also conjunct the TNO KAGARA   About Kagara, astrologers write: “Trickster energy: Deception for survival or play; Represents "wearing a false face" to navigate obstacles, leading to exposure and flight. Risk of self-sabotage: Over-reliance on tricks leads to isolation”...

  The astrological configuration in the Sibly chart (USA's founding chart, often used for mundane/national interpretations) is highly charged right now, around March 15, 2026. The solar arc directed Sun at ~21° Pisces and directed Saturn at ~22° Gemini form a T-square with the radical Mars at 21° Gemini 22' and radical Neptune at 22° Virgo 25'. This is tightly activated by the transiting Sun moving through 21°-22° Pisces in recent days, illuminating and triggering the pattern. Radix Mars-Neptune square (7th house Mars in Gemini opposing/ squaring into 9th/10th house Neptune vibes) classically points to confusion, deception, illusions, or weakness in foreign affairs (9th), military/enemies/open conflict (7th Mars), idealism vs. reality in actions, or "fog of war" scenarios—dissolution of martial energy, misguided aggression, or hidden/ subversive enemies.   Directed Saturn adding to this brings a sobering, karmic reality check—limitations, consequences, authority...

    “Neptune is the God principle and the creative Muse--that elusive thing we call magic. This profound energy is deeply embedded in the human heart, which flees from the ordinary, and seeks to dream. Neptune is, therefore, connected to “mirages” or appearances that belie reality”.       Dubai, the city of clean, safe streets, discreet banks, abundant air travel options and red carpets rolled out for the rich, is watching its reputation unravel under the weight of foreign military ambitions. The most populous city of the United Arab Emirates is paying the price of the US-Israeli war on Iran, along with the rest of the Middle East. The attackers want Tehran’s government toppled. The defenders hope to make that goal so costly even the Americans can’t afford it. Meanwhile, Arab nations that welcomed US military bases for their own security are seeing the limits of that protection – and expats living in Dubai have been among the hardest hit, at least emotio...

  A new Gallup poll finds that 29% of Americans now say government itself is the country’s biggest problem. That’s a higher percentage than people who think America’s biggest problem is the economy. Or immigration. Or inflation. Think about that for a moment. The institution whose entire job is to solve problems has become, in the eyes of the public, the single biggest problem of all. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/29-americans-have-finally-figured-out-problem-71-go       The February 17, 2026, solar eclipse (a New Moon eclipse) at approximately 28° Aquarius conjuncts the Sibly chart's Moon at 27°10' Aquarius very closely—within about 1° orb, which is highly significant in mundane astrology. This tight conjunction to the USA's natal Moon strongly activates themes tied to the people, the general populace, public mood, emotional undercurrents, and collective sentiment.In mundane astrology, the Moon rules the common people (often emphasizing the masses, public ...

        In a huge battlefield development and significant first and setback for US forces operating against Iran, a large American military aerial refueling tanker has gone down over Western Iraq, where it was operating in connection with Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM says there's a rescue effort ongoing, amid likely casualties. In an official statement it said: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/two-more-tankers-hit-bringing-total-six-ships-oil-tops-100-after-trump-declares-we-won     In mundane astrology (the branch dealing with nations, large-scale events, governments, and collective phenomena like wars or national crises), house meanings are well-established across classical, modern, and traditional sources, though with some variations depending on the astrologer or tradition (e.g., Raphael, Charles Carter, or more contemporary interpreters).   The 9th house primarily rules long-distance travel and communications, including international...

  Spain refused to allow the United States to use its jointly operated military bases (primarily in Rota and Morón) for operations related to attacks on Iran amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military actions against the country.This refusal was publicly stated and took effect around the weekend of late February/early March 2026, with key announcements and confirmations on March 1-2, 2026.   The horoscope which is generally used for modern Spain is based on the inauguration of King Juan Carlos on 22 November 1975: 22 November 1975, 12.45 pm CET, Madrid (40n24, 3w41). Currently Pluto about [4aq] is transiting over the Ascendant [3aq].   For this transit, Steven Forrest, writes:   “This transit challenges you to reveal who you really are and what you really want. It is a season of “unmasking”. Some false note has crept into your external, presented self. It may be an old lie, told for safety or convenience, that is now being unravelled. It may be that you’ve changed...

      Battle of the Centaurs   In synastry (relationship astrology), when one person's directed Sun activates another's natal points —it can highlight evolving themes in the partnership, power dynamics, or public-facing interactions.   From the Solar Fire table above we can see that Iran’s progressed Sun [29pi32] is square Israel’s Asbolus [29ge32]. Although exact on August 9, 2026, it is within orb of influence. Astrologers link Asbolus, to the consequences of heeding (or ignoring) inner warnings. In Greek mythology, Asbolus was a seer among the centaurs, skilled in augury—interpreting omens from the flight of birds. He warned his fellow centaurs against certain actions (like attending a fateful wedding that led to battle), but his advice was ignored, leading to tragedy. Essentially, failing to heed one's own intuition/omens, leading to disaster (mirroring the myth).   Israel’s natal Asbolus is conjunct the star Betelgeuse of Orion. This star is ...

          The screenshot from Solar Fire shows a progressed aspects list for the progressed Sun to natal points,( including asteroids) for the Saudi Arabia mundane chart dated September 23, 1932, 12:01 PM LMT, Riyadh (the standard noon proclamation chart). The key upcoming progressed Sun aspects highlighted are:Progressed Sun conjunct natal Siva opposite Pandora.       Martha Wescott’s interpretation for Pandora/Siva dynamics is as below:   Pandora/Siva “Crisis situations that involve Asia or the Middle East (and people from those areas) will occur, but I think there will be concern about upsets that catch people off-guard in connection with those countries too. As well, I think that expressions of anger will sometimes be "unexpected" or bring consequences for which one was unprepared”   Jungian Context and Psychological Projection: The attached Jung quote (from Aion: Christ as a Symbol of the Self, pp. 70-71) emphasize...
